Log huts are commonly called ''shan-

Australia is the ''grog shanty," an insti-
tuition only too common. A hand en-
ployed on a sheep OF cattle station, when
he receives his periodical check from his

tracks for the nearest ''grog shanty,'
and remain there until the whole of his
, hardly earned pay is consumed in drink.

expression for standing treat to strangers.

AT a meeting of the American China
tological association. held in Baltimore,
DIR. Loomis. of New York. read a paper
agent in pulmonary phthisis, in which
he said that it had long been known that
similar climates. as determined by geo.
graphical and meteorological conditions,
have different therapeutic effects. 1t is
becoming more apparent that there is
some relation between the development
of organisms and atmospheric conditions.
Cold and high attitudes render the air
aseptic; but the degree Of cold and the
height required are so great. that elm
ically il is not possible to derive much
benefit from this fact. The effect Of a
purely aseptic air upon lucrative pro-
cesses is not so great as the effect Of an
atmosphere which is aseptic on account
Of the presence Of antiseptic agents. The
belief in the good effects Of pine forests
in cases Of phthisis is quite unanimous,
and the clinical evidence in favor of
their beneficial influence is unquestioned.
The atmosphere in such regions is not
only aseptic, but also antiseptic. Such
an atmosphere contains considerable tur-
pentine vapor, and we should therefore
expect it 10 contain a certain amount of
peroxide of hydrogen.
The majority of cases Of phthisis die,
not directly from the LESSONS in the lung.
but from the secondary septicemia and
pyemia which are set up. IL is impossi-
BILE TO apply to the alterations within the
lung the antiseptic washing and dressing
that is employed in external LESSONS; but,
IL an antiseptic atmosphere a be OBJ
tanned, we may hope to counteract the
secondary poisoning. Such an atmos-
phere will not destroy the bacilli, but it
will accomplish much in the way Of ar
resting the suppurative process. The at
mosphere in the region Of evergreen for
ests acts in a manner similar to the anti
septic agents which are successfully used
to arrest suppurative processes in other
portions Of the body; and, in all proba-
bility, the active agent is peroxide of
hydrogen resulting from the oxidation Of
the t~urpentine vapor.-Science.

The Rev. Mr.. Metcalfe, in his book on
Iceland, gives an account Of the geysers
Of that country, and adds an explanation
of their occurrence which Is worthy Of
notice. He pitched his tent within
twenty yards of the great geyser, but as
that was only bubbling and boiling,
without an explosion to send upa column
of water, he removed to a smaller spring
called the Strokr.
80 we proceed" says he, ''to this
spring, which is 100 PAGES south of the
great geyser, and, although it has no
cone, but rises from the flat, is the more
picturesque Of the two. Forthwith we
collect handouts Of turf and stones, and
throw them into the Strokr's pipe; but
nothing seemed to move him. The waters
below grunted and snarled like a baited
badger, but were not to be drawn.
% In the sulks,' said |, ~laughingly, as
/ stood with my back to the oritice.
Here he comes.' shrieked one Of the
party, as | heard a hiss like a rocket dis
engaging itself from its stick. Rush for
your life.' and rush | did; but, my foot
catching, down fell.
Boiled alive" was my instantaneous
| thought. The seething waters will de-
scend and overwhelm me- And so they
would have done had not the wind been
from my side of the spout, and carried
the waters in the other direction.
.'What a sight! A column Of turbid
water. never ending, still beginning, darts
into the air at least one hundred feet,
bearing along with it all the unwhole-
some food with which we had been load
ing the creatures nav.
1.-The physical reason for the discharge,
which is a feature common to several Of
the Icelandic hot springs, is pretty well
understood. The pipe. which is forty
| eigth feet deep, diminishes from six feet,
its breadth at the top, to eleven inches at
the bottom. The injected mass of stones
and other material acts like the shutting
of a safety valve; the steam has not a
proper vent; it collects rapidly in the
subterranean chambers that arch over
the fountains Of the great deep until they
are charged to bursting, and suddenly
driving back the continually encroaching
waters, they lift off the obstruction, and
rush into mid air with the velocity of a
missile from the chamber of an ARM
strong gun. and are often illumined, as
on the present occasion, by a beautiful
iris.
.'And where does all the water come
from: That, too, is easy Of explanation.

Tho Maiden Assurance. COMPANY.

Ahs fntoeh '"aPnhy
In Denmark there is a society known
as the Maiden Assurance company; its
aim is to provide for ladies' Of well to do
families. Il shelters and cares for them,
and furnishes them with ''pin money"
Its methods are thus described: The
nobleman-for the association is peculi-
arly for this class-as o as a female
child is born, enrolls her Lame in q GER
tain association Of noble families and
paws q certain sum, and thereafter a
fixed annual amount 10 the society.
When she has reached the age Of, we be-
lieve, 81 she becomes entitled Il a fixed
income, and TO q suite Of apartments in a
large building Of the association, with
gardens and park about il, inhabited by
other young or older noble ladies who
have in like manner, become members.
II her father should die in her youth,
and she should desire ii, she has shelter
in this building and, at a time fixed, her
income. When she dies or marries all
this right TO income lapses. and the
money paid in swells the endowment Of
the association. Her father may pay for
twenty years and then her marriage cuts
off all advantage Of the insurance. But
this very chance must enable the COM
pany to charge lower annual premiums
and make the burden less on the father
insuring. He has, at any rate, the
pleasant feeling that his small annual
payments are insuring his daughters
future and giving her a comfortable
home and income after he Is gone. II ia
obvious that the chances for marriage
among a given number Of women can be
calculated as closely as those Of death.
